How to import Outlook Express mail to vista mail?

Im extremely frustrated by this as I can't seem to find a way to import all
of my saved emails into vista mail from my old outlook express mail stored
saved folders.

I need to get back all of the thousands of emails that I've been saving
since about 2000 into vista mail.

Is there any solution to this or has MS just decided enough is enough and
you can't import your old outlook express emails anymore.

Okay, found it.

Import>Messages>Outlookexpress 6

Strange that it didn't import all the mail, I know that I had 3 important
emails in the inbox about 7 days prior to upgrading to vista that are no
longer in the imported folders anywhere.

What a drag this has turned out to be.

This is a bit of a pain but it worked for me. if you old computer works.
1. I exported my address book to a .csv file (make sure first name and last
name is checked.
2. I made matching folders on my flash drive to the same folders I was
trying to save all my email out of.
3. I opened each folder on old mail and highligted all mail and then right
clicked and dragged into matching folder on my flash drive.
4. I made new folders in my vista mail. then just dragged the appropriated
emails back into the opened new folders.
5. Then of course did an import of the .csv file for address book.
This did take a few minutes as I had about 7 folders I wanted but it really
wasn't too bad.
